Footwear Design and Technology School - School


The Footwear Design and Technology School of South Africa was established by Glyn Giani as the first
and only in the South Africa. Glyn with fourteen years experience in the footwear industry, an Advance Diploma
in Footwear Design from ARS Sutoria, Milan, Italy, a Diploma in Footwear and Footwear Materials Technology,
a Diploma in Fashion design from GFD, as well as BCompt articles, has gained tremendous experience in all
aspects of establishing factories, design and development, technology, marketing, and manufacture as far as
India and China.
 
This elite school with a restricted number of students per year, and applicants from all over the world is based
in a-grade facilities superior to any known school internationally. The school was established to become the
most sought after in the footwear industry world wide. We do not compromise on admission criteria due to any
reason whatsoever and will not compromise on issuing of our qualifications to students who do not meet our
extreme grades.
 
Due the fact that the South African NQF does not cater for a Diploma of this nature, and the CTFL seta does
not have the abilities to certify a course of this nature, the FDTSSA has reverted to circumventing the local
qualification structures, and now offer a one year part time Private Certificate and a three year Private Diploma
aligning them with the best schools in the world. Negotiations are in process to offer joint certification of our
courses with one of the best design schools in Italy.
 
We will produce the leading footwear and handbag designers of the future who will remain part of this exclusive
club of alumni throughout their careers and thereafter.
